The air leaving your lungs during a sneeze is moving roughly 100mph.
I sneeze obnoxiously loud. I bet I break 130 mph easy. How do I go about testing this?
That's probably the fastest thing a human body by itself can produce...
Modern MLB pitchers can regularly throw a baseball 100+ mph. Currently, the flick of the wrist during a curveball throw is the fastest human motion recorded.

Some MLB pitchers are able to throw baseballs faster than 100MPH. Nerve signals can travel through the body at 200MPH.
Wow, that's nuts
